Need Recommendation on Best CD player under $1,000

Best Christmas Album
That Tuck Andress is also recommended for any guitar lovers...sorry I forgot it. I didn't have it filed with all my Christmas CDs because I was listening to it just last night. DOH! 
Best Christmas Album
The Dylan is Stereophile's Recording of the Month...maybe that's a joke as well. Not tryin to beat this into the bush or anything but all of John Fahey's Christmas albums are essential. My other favorites are Esquivel-Merry Xmas, Sufjan Stevens-So...

Quality recordings of reggae/ska and alternative
Bongofury is recommending some pretty great stuff...I have a ton of those records. This Are 2 Tone is another good ska comp. I'm more into dub stuff than regular reggae. If you want some pics that's my expertise. 
Quality recordings of reggae/ska and alternative
